Alongside Brolin's Cable, Deadpool 2 will also feature Domino, played by relative newcomer Zazie Beetz.

In the comics, Domino is a member of the super-team X-Force, and often appears in stories alongside her love interest, Cable.

Based on that connection alone, we can assume that the two characters will both be working against Deadpool, but that's speculation at this point.

Elsewhere, Jack Kesy (who many people will know from TV's The Strain) has been cast in an as-yet undisclosed villain role in the upcoming sequel.

According to Deadline's sources, this villain could be Black Tom - an Irish antagonist with a penchant for controlling plant life - though this is not official.

Black Tom would be an interesting choice. His Poison Ivy-esque abilities would surely strain Deadpool 2's limited effects budget (this isn't a $150 million blockbuster after all) but he would also prove a unique challenge for the Merc With A Mouth.

And finally, Japanese actress Shioli Kutsuna has been cast in the film, but no information about her role has yet been unveiled.
